SEO consultant, Sydney
SEO consultant in Sydney: you talk to the person doing the work
A consultant is a person, not a sales team with a delivery queue behind it. This page covers what that person does, and how to tell one from a reseller.

What working with a consultant looks like
Diagnosis before a plan
A short review of your site and market before any plan is proposed, so the plan fits your situation, not a template.
Findings that go live
Findings go live on your site directly, with the access you give us, so nothing waits on a developer queue.
One person, start to finish
Angus does the audit, the fixes, and the reporting, with no handoff between a salesperson and whoever ends up doing the work.
The first 90 days
Month one
Audit, access, and the first fixes go live.
Month two
Content and local pages added, based on what the audit found.
Month three
First full report: what moved, and the plan for the next quarter.
Ongoing
Monthly work continues on a plan, or the engagement ends there. Either is fine.
Checks worth running before you sign anything
Consultant, expert, and specialist are all unlicensed titles. These three checks work on any provider, including this one.
Get a name
Ask for a name, not “our team”, because silence is the answer.
Ask to see one page
One page they wrote or fixed for a real client, not a sample report.
Check how old the ABN is
A brand-new entity behind a polished-looking website is worth a second look.

For chiro near me, one Sydney clinic went from unranked to the top of Google. Not a guarantee for every business.

Monthly work starts at $390 a month, plus GST. A one-off project is scoped and quoted first.
A consultant is not a substitute for a working website. If the site itself is broken, that gets fixed first.
Questions worth asking before you hire anyone
Do you outsource the work?
No. Angus does the work himself, using tools he built. There is no offshore team between you and the person doing it.
What happens in the first 90 days?
Month one is the audit and the first fixes. Month two adds content and local work. Month three brings the first full report, showing what moved and what comes next.
How do I know if I need a consultant or a monthly plan?
A one-off audit suits a specific question, such as why rankings dropped or whether a rebuild is worth it. A monthly plan suits ongoing work. If you are unsure which one fits, start with the audit.
How do I check whether my current provider is doing the work?
Ask for a specific page they changed, and the client's name, so you can check it yourself. A straight answer points to real work. A vague one points to a reseller.
Do you sign a contract?
Monthly work runs month to month, with no lock-in. A larger one-off project is scoped and quoted in writing before anything starts.
